Buyer's premium:

A substantial collection of Royal Mail First Day Covers, predominantly British, dating from the mid-to-late 20th century. The collection includes covers with specific dates such as Christmas 1986, Christmas 1993, and 5 November 1993, aligning with similar issues from 1994 and 1995 identified through market research. Themes are diverse, featuring subjects such as wildlife (‘Wild Animals,’ ‘British Wildlife’), historical events and institutions (‘The British Museum,’ ‘Centenary of the Royal National Lifeboat Institution’), and festive subjects. Several envelopes are addressed, including one to “Mrs R Dimonda” in Nuneaton.
